The Johannesburg Roads agency is embarking on a R30 million rehabilitation project on the Kaserne Bridge section of the M2 Motorway.

The project, which includes repairs to bridge joints, bearings, corbel and replacement of guardrails, stolen road furniture and concrete works, is set to kick off on Wednesday 04 April and the agency has advised motorists to consider alternative routes.

As part of the scheduled scope of works, the M2 eastbound, M2 westbound and Mooi Street off-ramp will be affected with phased works which will see temporary road closures.

“JRA has closed the fast lane on the M2 eastbound for rehabilitation works. The lane will remain closed provisionally for the next six-month,” the agency said in statement.

The agency is urging motorists to travel at a safe distance and reduce speed upon entry into the construction area as well as be aware of construction workers on site.
